Housing market continues to climb in SWFL

This week’s blog is about a recent study by FGCU showing that the Southwest Florida housing market has been very healthy in recent months. Amir Neto, the interim director Regional Economic Research Institute in the Lutgert College of Business at FGCU said, “One of the big things we’re seeing here is early retirees moving, plus people who could work from home remotely also making this move to Southwest Florida.” Here at Southwest Florida Dream Builders, we have experienced a larger volume of serious homebuyers than the prior several snowbird seasons. Following a related Wink article, also linked below, the median home price in Charlotte County went from $239,950 to $269,900. Lee County’s median price rose from $262,500 to $319,150 year over year. Due to high demand and rising building material prices, home prices all over Southwest Florida have risen quickly. The median home price for Collier County is up to $550,000! With low interest rates, and many leaving home states to work remotely, there is a lot of attention on the Florida housing market.
